From this week's issue of The Onion: "When The Smiths broke up in 1987, everyone knew that Morrissey would be exposed as a no-talent, and that the full genius of guitarist/songwriter Johnny Marr would be revealed at last. Impressive session work for The Pretenders, Talking Heads, The The, and others fanned the flames. Then the should-have-been-brilliant-but-wasn't Bernard Sumner collaboration happened. Then everyone forgot about Johnny Marr. Then, earlier this year, Marr and his band The Healers released an album that sounded like the lost work of some uninspired early-'90s Stone Roses wannabe. Then everyone forgot about Johnny Marr again." See The Onion's entire list of "Least Essential Albums of 2003" here.

2nd least essential = David Gahan's 'Whatever that piece of crap was called' cd. Gak!
Electronic were good ...... (Score:3, Interesting)
Anyway, getting to the real point, what is all this “should-have-been-brilliant-but-wasn't Bernard Sumner collaboration” nonsense. Electronic were a great band. The first album was a glacial indie-disco-pop classic, while the second and third certainly had their moments. How quickly people forget.

Conceivably, then, Onion could earn referrer revenues for albums they completely trashed.

Irrelevant to Some, but not All (Score:2, Insightful)
Johnny has made choices that many here disagree with, but if you get a chance to catch his live show, or even just to read some of his interviews- he's exuding happiness and seems really centered. Irrelevant? This music is a new expression from the same man who wrote songs some of you have worn out from playing so much. He has grown up and has different priorities- he's coming from a different place than he was back then. After all these years, if he was writing Smiths-y songs, it would just be sort of pathetic.
I'm happy for him and wish him well.

I think Moz has a perfect band now though.
Now Joyce is another animal entirely ...don't get me started on that subject.
